While villagers in TA Chilikumwendo’s area in Dedza are celebrating the death of a rabid hyena that killed nine people and injured 13 others, veterinary experts have warned of more similar beasts unless government puts in place measures to check the attacks.
Mkandawire said contrary to beliefs by villagers, the veterinary association has ruled out magic or spirits from dead in the Dedza saga, arguing that the manner in which the animal attacked people indicated that it was a rabid hyena.
She said it was surprising that government did not seem immediately bothered to warn people in the aftermath of the Dedza hyena saga, and vaccinate affected people with a Human Anti Rabies Vaccine.

The beast, which came from caves in the nearby Mpita Hills, returned to the villages in the early hours of Tuesday and attacked two people who were also taken to the hospital.
But the villagers blamed the police and rangers for taking the beast away, suggesting they should have organised a viewing ceremony for the people to see and believe that it was dead.
